Mathematical topics from real analysis, including parts of measure theory,Fourier and functional analysis, are introduced as needed to support a deepunderstanding of. Background in measure theory can skip Sections 1.4, 1.5, and 1.7, which were previously part of the appendix. 1.1 Probability Spaces Here and throughout the book, terms being defined are set in boldface. We begin with the most basic quantity. A probability space is a triple (Ω,F,P) where Ω is a set of 'outcomes,' F is a set of 'events.

Course material will be basedon the book
Richard Durrett: Probability: Theory and Examples. (The fourth edition is the newest published one but any edition should work. You can get the book from Rick Durrett's homepage. List of corrections.)
There are numerous good books on probability and it may be helpful to look at other books besides Durrett. For example, these authors have written graduate texts:Patrick Billingsley, Leo Breiman, Kai Lai Chung, Richard M. Dudley, Bert Fristedt and Lawrence Gray, Olav Kallenberg, Sidney Resnick,Albert Shiryaev, Daniel Stroock.
Prerequisites
Measure theory is a basic tool for this course. A suitable background can be obtained from Math 629 or Math 721 (possibly concurrently). Chapter 1 in Durrett covers the measure theory needed. If desired some measure theory can be reviewed at the start.Prior exposure to elementary probability theory is also necessary.Course Content
We cover selected portions of Chapters 2-5 of Durrett 4th Ed.These are the main topics:Foundations, existence of stochastic processes |
Independence, 0-1 laws, strong law of large numbers |
Characteristic functions, weak convergence and the central limit theorem |
Random walk |
Conditional expectations |
Martingales |
Course Grades, Exams and Homework
Course grades will be based on take-home work (50%) and one in-class exam (50%) whereyou can bring 3 sheets of notes. Homework assignments will be posted on Canvas at Learn@UW. Instructions for homework appear at the bottom of this homepage.Final Exam: Monday 12/18/2017, 2:45PM - 4:45PM, SOC SCI 6203.

Instructions for Homework
Elementary Probability Theory Chung Solution Manual Free
- Homework must be handed in by the due date, either inclass or by 3 PM either in the instructor's office or mailbox, or as a PDF file uploaded on Canvas. Late submissionscannot be accepted.
- Neatness and clarity are essential. Write one problem per pageexcept in cases of very short problems. Staple you sheets together. You are welcome to use LaTeX to typeset your solutions.
- It is not trivial to learn to write solutions. You have to write enough to show that you understand the flow of ideas and that you are not jumping to unjustified conclusions, but not too much to get lost in details. If you are unsureof the appropriate level of detail to include, you can separate some of the technical details as 'Lemmas' and put them at the end of the solution. A good rule of thumb isif the grader needs to pick up a pencil to check your assertion, you should have proved it. The grader can deduct points in such cases.
- You can use basic facts from analysis and measure theoryin your homework, and the theorems we cover in class without reproving them. If you find a helpful theorem or passage in another book, do not copy the passage but use theidea to write up your own solution. If you do use otherliterature for help, cite your sourcesproperly. However, it is better to attack the problemswith your own resources instead of searching the literatureor the internet. The purpose of the homework is to strengthen your problem solving skills, not literature search skills. (In particular: do not useLyapunov's theorem as a substitute for Lindeberg-Feller unlesswe have covered Lyapunov's theorem or it has been proved ina homework.)
- It is valuable to discuss ideas for homework problems with other students. But it is not acceptable to write solutions together or to copy another person'ssolution. In the end you have to hand in yourown personal work. Similarly, finding solutions on the internet is tantamount to cheating. It is the same as copying someone else's solution.
